History of the languages

The origin of the Language S, or more generally of the language, is a subject on which the thinkers are leaning since centuries.

During the human evolution, the Protolangue S and the Moyens not-linguistics of communication gave rise to, at least, a communication system oral, but much of things remain to discover on top. Recent studies tend to show that the languages occurred 200.000 years ago, following a change of gene FOXP2. No contemporary human social group speaks a language " primitive" or rudimentary.

Although the existing languages differ from/to each other by the extent and the topics of their lexicon, all the human languages have a grammar and a syntax allowing the invention, the translation, even the loan with other languages of the vocabulary necessary to the expression of the thoughts and reflections of their speakers.

The origin and the history of the languages always were the subject of the attention of the thinkers. Thus, of many Mythe S tend to give to the languages a divine or supranaturelle origin (Tower of Babel, Hermes,…). The single language of the origins would thus have been divided into a multitude to bring the discord between the men.

Nowadays, the scientific discipline having for object the study of the history and the evolution of the languages is the compared Linguistique.
